There are three questions you need to ask yourself before deciding whether the entrepreneurial path is right for you:

• Are you interested in solving other people’s problems? In order to build a product that has a strong market demand, you need to have a deep understanding of the problems your customers are trying to solve and offer them a viable solution. This requires customer empathy, which an important trait for any budding entrepreneur.
• Do you enjoy selling? If you want to be an entrepreneur, you will be doing some version of it all the time. You’ll need to have a thorough understanding of your market, a clear vision for your company, and strong communication skills to convince people of your point of view.
• How resilient are you? On your journey to launch a business, you will encounter all sorts of obstacles and challenges. Sometimes you may fail or be told “no,” but that’s a part of it. You need to believe in yourself and your idea enough to get back up and try again.
